Care home hog roast for Newington
How our care home hog roast works in Newington
Your team knows each resident’s needs, so we provide full allergen information and work to your plan. We serve apple sauce, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for retirement housing events and days for relatives.
Around Newington, some homes have limited outdoor space, so send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly whether the roaster fits. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your residents.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.

- You get a clear price.
- We cook in the grounds.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
